Happy creating :)

I appreciate that you included what brushes to use if we don't have your brushes and that you time stamped everything. Spring.

[@vocalkristinalab]

Dear Genevieve, I can't thank you enough for your tutorials! They literally get me back on track with my procreate drawing, so pleasant to listen and easy to follow. I love the step on adding texture and seeing miracles happen when the drawing comes all together. I've been drawing violet flower and this process did the work! If not to your tutorials i would have never found out that by feathering and tweaking hue, sat and brightness can give the drawing that 3d kind of look. Can't wait for more tutorials using new 3d features in Procreate, as it's becoming more in demand for educational storytelling videos for kids on how to be good or how to face challenges so they can put themselves on the place of the character. Would love to see some 3D cutie characters tutorial!
Love your channel, thanks bunches

[@MidnightBolter]

SPRING!!! Thank you so much for this tutorial. I'm very new to procreate and really want to explore the different art styles one can make in the app. Your guide really helps me try new approaches and really want how to see where it would take me. Wish me luck 😊

[@GenevievesDesignStudio]

You got this! 🥳

[@briemac4780]

Spring. Thanks for the little things I don't think about using Procreate. Like the steps for using selection tool. I'm a photoshop lass and the learning curve is only in how things function in the app. I do all my finishing stuff in PS. Trying to get myself to do everything in Procreate, so I don't have so much post-editing.

[@Dulcilady]

Thanks for another great tutorial. I just noticed in this video that you include a pop up, bottom left, of the brush you are using. I don’t know if you’ve done that in previous videos but I had been wishing that there was a way to know which brush you were using and when. Especially when I’ve had to go back in the video to check what you have done for certain effects. Great idea.

[@charlenevanwijk6220]

Spring 🙂

[@johnmolaison4989]

Very nice.

[@Dulcilady]

Spring 😊. That was lovely and you make it look so easy. I just realized I hadn’t subscribed - yikes. Subscribing right now.

[@sandybrickman1392]

I appreciate you letting us know what brush to use if we don’t have yours!!

[@lorijoy720]

[@zz4syz437]

Hi Genevieve! Thank you for the tutorial. I'm using your Ultimate Watercolor brushes, and the colors that I use the brushes to paint are always lighter than what I choose, can you let me know how I can adjust to make them match? Thank you!

[@uthrashini3056]

Spring.. lovely one.. I'm your new student😍

[@annasmuslimin2747]

Hi, how to make that reference floating.?

[@kathyemmell6981]

Can you do this on a phone or a regular computer

[@painta76]

Spring , sigh my selection tool gives vertical grey lines to denote isolation and doesn't always stay selected when choosing hue and saturation and the result always ends up looking like it's burnt.

[@randabaioni4486]

Hi, Genevieve! :) I am a new subscriber, and I am just now getting into digital art. What storage option would you recommend for someone who is looking into doing digital art on an iPad Pro?

[@GenevievesDesignStudio]

Hey Randa!
I personally have a 256GB iPad with a bunch of brushes and canvas (I'm a children's books illustrator, so I use Procreate A LOT) and still have over 150GB left...
Procreate files and brushes really don't use a whole lot of space, so you should be good with just 256 if you don't use your iPad for many other things (like filming and storing videos)
Hope this helps :)

[@randabaioni4486]

@@GenevievesDesignStudio Thank you so much!! I was opting for either the 256 GB or 512 GB. :)

[@makeupbytatjana]

I am having trouble when I get to the feather tool part. It adds color to the entire area that I selected with my hand tool, but it doesn't look like that happens when you do it. Is there something that I have selected that is wrong?

[@fabmakeupbeauty9478]

You have the best tutorials. I have a request. Could you do a procreate tutorial with an animal?

[@GenevievesDesignStudio]

Thank you so much :) There will be a rabbit tutorial coming later in the Spring/Easter mini-series (late March I think!)

[@joannacaysido6177]

How did you erase the layer name using your pencil?

[@gracehorton3315]

I like your tutorials are you on skill share ?, as I’ve said before there is not enough on here for designing for digital or physical sale etc

[@GenevievesDesignStudio]

Thank you!
I'm not on Skillshare... I really like just posting on UA-cam for now, but maybe in the future :)
